Chief Joanne Black said Saturday police also are sharing a photograph of the robber with the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office to see if there are any similarities with a bank robbery that occurred in Citrus County a little more than two weeks ago.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office is assisting Dunnellon Police with the case.

Shortly before 5 p.m. Thursday, a man entered the SunTrust at 20270 E. Pennsylvania Ave. and began yelling at customers, ordering them to get on the ground.

The man pointed a semiautomatic handgun at a teller and demanded money.

After receiving an undetermined amount of cash, the robber fled on foot through a vacant lot toward The Granada, police said.

The gunman was described as a white man wearing a blue baseball cap with a white circular emblem, dark sunglasses, a red oversized T-shirt, gloves and blue jeans. He’s believed to be 5 feet 7 inches to five feet 9 inches tall, in his late 20s to early 30s, with light brown hair and no facial hair.

Anyone with information about this incident may call the Dunnellon Police Department at 465-8510 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP, or visit www.ocalacrimestoppers.com.
